Overall the campsite was clean, I was at campsite 005 which is a large site that can easily hold 10 people comfortably. The one issue I had was the restrooms, most did not work at all, and the portable toilets were full to the brim, this was due to poor planning, the portables get pumped on Monday, (My stay was Sunday and Monday), the problem with pumping the portable toilets on Monday is by the time of the weekend the toilet tank is full to start the busy weekend, possibly this is a vendor problem, bottom line; good campsite if you have a trailer with a restroom in it, if not bring one of those portable camping toilets.

The sites were beautiful. The lake was amazing. I have a couple complaints. To begin with, the portable restrooms were disgusting! Full to the brim!!!! Also, the capers across from our site were noisy past 10, playing loud music.

Nice location, close to the reservoir but not right on the water. We stayed on a two family site, which were nice, sunny, and had nice amount of space. This is a smaller campground than someplace lie kachees. It was pretty impactful to not have functional water taps or drop toilets. We were not expecting them to be out of order. There were just port-a-potties (which were clean) and no water available. Host was great but, overall this isn’t the nicest national forest site around.

Fresh water spouts did not work and only port-a-potties available. The permanent bathrooms were closed. The sites itself were nice.

campsite very nice. clean porta-potties.
The problem is that recreation.gov showed all but 1 site was reserved for the 2 days we wanted so we reserved the open site. however when we got to the campground sites were marked reserved but so many sites were never occupied, what a waste! and although recreation.gov's own rule is if the site is not occupied the first night of reservation then you are free to use it but the hosts never change the sites reservation status. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE.
